Couldn't resist
Hello had my 335d Saloon since last October, but after buying a set of wheels from a coupe 335i owner i couldn't stop thinking about it.
I looking on ebay, autotrader then i found her, had done 43,000 miles & had some mods i would have eventually got done myself, Sports cats, Sports intercooler, Sport Downpipes, quaife differential, 370bhp remap, Hartage Springs. This car also has loads of optional extras my saloon doesn't such as Sunroof, satnav, electric heated seats, so i man'ed up & made the purchase  [/IMG] Had her a few months & really enjoyed the car so much, spoke to my technician about what i was going to have done & decided on Upgraded brake discs & pads, Eibach Sports suspension (shocks & springs), Aerodynamic bodykit, the new 2010 tailights, BMW performance exhaust, BMW M3 DCT sports steering wheel After he took it for a drive he informed me he was not happy with the engine rempp & would like to put his own on & garunteed me over 400BHP so the parts have arrived & work has begun, i recived some update pics from him, apologies for the quality i will post plenty high quality shots once the work has been completed. I am also looking for a set of Style 260m replicas et34 front & et 37 rear any help appreciated        |

Been thinking of an 'i' myself, if I'm honest. I may HAVE to get rid of my car sooner than I had hoped and the 335i's are going very cheap + a couple of £k's can get you near M3 power - it's insane!

I'd be interested to know if the ride is any better with the new shocks and springs.. I'm getting fed up of skipping over bumps on the m25!

I have spoken to the people doing the work on the car about the alloys & they inform me that the et of the OEM wheels is no good & i need et34 front & et 37 rear
Ive got a Bilstein kit on my saloon 335d & the roads round here are quite bad, i do find the driving experience much better but potholes are a nightmare thats why im looking to drop from 19" wheels to 18"s & have a bit more tyre depth Last edited by PurpleMonkey; 08-30-2011 at 06:51 AM.. |

Had a call from them last night they had a few minor issues which they have resolved, the upgraded intercooler that had been fitted was making little if any difference as it was covered by bits so they have cut these away.
The job should be complete today, just the front bumper to fit as they needed to order some different bits to fit it, the steering wheel should be here today & the engine remapp will be going onto day, his engineers inform him should be looking at more torque than a M3 & slightly less BHP than a M3 Also having major problems finding the BMW style 260m Reps i desperatly want, so i am looking for some nice 18" wheels 8.5" front, 9.5" rear, any suggestions? I have seen some Team Dynamics Jade-R that i quite like but am unsure on Silver or Black & also struggling finding a supplier with 2x18" 8.5" & 2x18" 9.5" so going no where fast, if i can find some wheels today i can go pick them up & have my tyres ordered & here for tomorrow |

Why are you getting 18"? Are you ditching the 19" 230s?

Looking good PM,be interesting to see the final result

I'd be cautious of running your choice of tyre size on the front,with lowered suspension. I run 235/35's with the Bilstein PSS 10's, and they (tyres) have a habit of hitting the underside of the plastic wheel arch liner,it only happens when driving over undulating surfaces,coming off my drive and over speed bumps, but it's worth mentioning.
